As I’m of a certain age, I grew up with the original series of the Clangers, and it was one of my favourite programmes as a child. I’d actually bought the DVD of the series for Monkey when I was pregnant. There was no way this child wasn’t going to grow up being a fan…Continue reading #ClangersForKindness – giveaway
